    There are many FPS games out there, I'm not very familiar with many of the newest ones so I wont be adding them to the poll.

    My favorite would have to be Counter Strike Source, second would be FEAR.

    Feedback as to why would be nice too, I like CSS because most of my friends play it and its really fun online.

    I think there are NBR counter strike team in here somewhere, you might want to ask around. Or do a search on user Gator, and look at the posts he made.

    I would say "Half-Life 2" for single player series, but we all know that no FPS is complete with a seriously competitive online atmosphere. So my vote goes to the Counterstrike series.

    FEAR. I've re-played that game so many times. There's just something so amazingly satisfying about blowing enemies away in slow motion with the shotgun. :D

    I voted COD2, but in reality I enjoyed COD:UO more, especially the multiplayer.

    HL2/CS:S are also quality games :)

    Counter-strike is still a classic. I'd be happy to play some CS if anyone wanted to. But right now, I'm quite fond of playing R6:Vegas and CoD3 on my Xbox 360 over Xbox Live. :) I used to love playing Quake 3 and UT 2002 (along with CS) in computer shops. The last time I regularly went to a computer shop was around 4 years ago.

    I used to play Counterstrike all the time. First CS 1.6 and then CSS, but I kinda lost my interest in Counterstrike.

    The latest FPS I played is R6:Vegas which I think is one of the best fps I played in a while.

    My fondest memories are playing Wolfenstein 3D out of DOS (I was 4-5?). On a console I've played Time Splitters (PS2 & GC) more than any other game. But because of the limited choices listed I voted for FEAR, the reflex and the great AI make it stand out.

    PC: def CS, CS:S nothing comes close although I have been playing BF2142 more lately, but thats just because my friends have been playing that, so to play with them I have to play that.
    Console: Nothing beats Halo 2 other than the Halo 3 beta and then Halo 3 in the fall.

    Actually your laptop is pretty decent, you can play some of the latest games without problems. At lower settings/resolution, yes, but you can play them. A 128MB Radeon 9600 is nothing to sneeze at. :) It's far better than an integrated solution.
